We have one big bedroom with a nice big wardrobe and another room that is open to the kitchen so it makes it feel a lot bigger than some of the other apartments here. Our bathroom is very new, nothing special. But, living here has made me very aware of space we really need. I wonder how I ever needed so much space before, when all of our things fit onto that tiny bathroom cart? We’ve made chicken curry, spring rolls, soups, muffins, etc. in our small kitchen. And I had 6 guests over for my cooking lesson. I love having a small apartment, especially when cleaning takes 1/3 of the time!
The couch is almost finished- I call it my “IKEA hack job”. The couch was originally from IKEA, passed down to us from other students, like most of our furniture. We actually paid for the thing, without knowing that it is actually very old. Who buys a white couch in a student apartment?! It is very grey with many stains, pen markings, etc. and then springs are about to burst through the cushions. I found some adorable fabric at IKEA, took some measurements, and bought just enough to cover the couch. I had no idea how I was going to do it, but luckily the previous cover was attached by a friction-fit type of device, a metal groove with a plastic plug to hold the fabric taught under the couch. This job was easier than I thought! Now I just need to tack down a few corners and it has most definitely brightened our room. Now to get a few things on the walls…
